RIP Sweet Hidey

Maxx is on his way...

Plushy girls

We're here, but we haz a sad for Arthur GWPDA.

Haz you missed us?

The Comet has come....

Maxx made an unexpected trip today - he swung by to pick up his old friend Arthur, the beloved companion and best friend of our dear friend GWPDA. R.I.P. sweet Arthur, voyage on! You will be missed.

Friday Kittehs return!!

Well, I managed to get one of them in range of the camera and strobes. Our Maddie, still a huge ham. Both in high resolution for your eepy enjoyment.

Yes, I suck...

To all my loyal readers, I realize I have been falling down on the job in the past year. Maybe a word of explanation is in order. In late 2011, I was laid off from my full time job and spent much of the next six months trying to find work while juggling various part-time and free-lance jobs. Add into that that my semi-new apartment (at that time) turned out to be rather dark and a somewhat difficult place to photograph the kittehs... well, blogging took the hit.

Since last summer, I've been employed (yay me!) but pretty crazy, and the apartment is still dark, the girls HATE being flashy thinged... so it didn't get any better.

However, in order to stop the plaintive emails of folks begging for their plushy fix, I have created a facebook fan page for the girls. Plushy Girls Fan Page It's fairly easy for me to manage, though I can't promise that a lot of the pics won't be iPhone photos.

Anyway, thanks for hanging in there with us - the girls are still fabulous and quite plushy!!

Memorial weekend plushies

This is what I see when I read in bed at night. There's a cat under that fur. I swear. 

Enjoy the long weekend!!

Okay, not friday, but still plushy!

...in which I attempt to juggle a feather on a stick and a camera with speedlight attached.

Fun with flash

Maddie helps while I play with fill flash exposures. Kittehs enjoy being helpful!! (and she's grateful that I'm bouncing the flash and not flashy-thinging her).

It's friday, and that means KITTIES

Sorry, I've been busy this week. But here's your friday plushy fix!

I don't know why, but all maine coons seem to do the "crossing legs" thing. 

Ripley being ridiculously cute. As usual. 

Tanks 4 washing dis slipcover chair thing - now iz perfect napping spot. 

All photos taken with my new Olympus Pen 'walking around' camera. (in high resolution)

Really blogger?

The new interface is a pain in the butt and the scheduling function doesn't seem to work very well. Hence, the double-post of Friday Ripley. Oh well!!

A big thanks to Kid Ranger who sent a whole tube full of those things when they were behbehs. They still love them. Happy friday.

Friday Maddie!!

Where dat sparkly dot goes? WHERE?

U be bothering me while I chase dot. 

It's really hard to get Maddie's attention when she's on the deck- she gets distracted by the reflection off my lens. Silly cat!!

Time flies!!

I wuz lost and in jail....

...and now I am big gurl in mah forever home. 

She really was a funny cute kitten.

Aurora

Sigh.

Friday Ripley

I iz napping. Goez awai pleeze. 

Oh wait, dere be feathers on a stick??

Ripley still loves those feathers on a stick (as does  Maddie.) A big thank you to (I think) Kid Ranger, who sent a whole bunch of them to the gurlz when they where little. It was the plushy gift that STILL keeps on giving.

No waxes here

Eyebrows, I haz dem

Maddie was more interested in chasing the reflection the lens made on the deck than helping me create a plushy-pic. Scamp!
